Location
Almyros, located on Corfu Island, Greece, provides a serene escape from the bustling cosmopolitan beach of Acharavi. It is an idyllic paradise for those seeking a tranquil break from the hectic routine of everyday life.
Corfu is not only renowned for its picturesque setting and sumptuous cuisine, but it is also steeped in cultural history. The origins of the island can be traced back to Greek mythology, with the island’s name, Kerkyra, related to two powerful water symbols, Poseidon and Asopos. According to the myth, Poseidon named the island Korkyra after his wife, the beautiful nymph Korkyra, and the name gradually evolved into Kerkyra over time.
Apart from Greek mythology, Corfu’s history is full of battles and conquests. Its capital, Corfu town, is enclosed by castles and has been officially declared a Kastropolis, or castle city, by the Greek government.
Corfu’s landscape is breathtakingly beautiful, dominated by mountains, rolling hills, and verdant vegetation. The Northern region of the island has retained its natural and architectural charm, making it a favorite spot for both tourists and locals. The coastal areas boast pristine white sandy beaches, while the turquoise sea provides a stunning contrast to the lush greenery of the Corfiot countryside.
How to get there?
Getting to Corfu’s New Port can be accomplished through direct ferry connections from Venice, Ancona, Bari, Brindisi (Italy), Himara and Saranda (Albania) or Igoumenitsa, Patra (Greece). Once you arrive, there is a parking lot with rental cars and taxis nearby, as well as a public bus station.
If you prefer to take a taxi, you can reach the retreat location from the airport for 61 EUR. Just Relax will try to arrange ride-sharing opportunities to help cut down on costs.
Alternatively, you can take the local bus from the main bus station in Corfu Town.
